Weingut Martin Wassmer, Pinot Rosé Brut, Baden
I've always been mildly amused by Martin Wassmer's chutzpah at having a bottle label that is suspiciously reminiscent of a certain famous Champagne label. Salmon orange in appearance (see photo). Raspberry and melon aromas, biscuity hints. A little bit
savoury. (Bacon?) Raspberry on the palate with a refreshing apple
tartness that keeps my mouth watering. The raspberry is very pure and
moreish. Perfect for mid-summer. This doesn't necessarily hit the true
heights, but it's a pretty adamant, good-value sparkler that knows its
worth. I might be inclined to get more.
